Well, it’s the end of day 1 and I’m about to go to sleep.  But first, let me give a trip report so far:

We left New Orleans at 8:50 a.m. CDT.  We made a couple of stops for food and gas, and we arrived in Orlando around 7:15 p.m. EDT.  It was a pretty smooth drive and we made good time.

We arrived at the house, and the outside looks horrible.  The grass is all dead (apparently it hasn’t rained here in a while) and the pool is still cloudy.  I cleaned up the yard and weeded the gardens and turned on the sprinklers.  Quite honestly, I’m pretty depressed about coming back to this house.  I was hoping that it would be sold by now, but no luck.  This isn’t my house anymore.  And although it’s staged very nicely, it is reinforcing the fact that I’m out of place.

We were pretty hungry, and since there’s no entertainment at the house, we decided to go to the Boardwalk.  It was nice to get out and go to Disney for a while.  However, as soon as we got there, I started missing Tammy and Megan.  I started thinking about being there with them, and it made me sad that they weren’t here sharing this experience with me.

I’m starting to wonder if I should have made the trip at all, because I’m pretty depressed.  I pray that tomorrow is a better day because I’ll be at Disney and I’ll get to see Chris and Melissa again..
